A computer mouse that can do yoga, with tons of features a typical mouse doesn't have. Enter the Lenovo Yoga Mouse!

Connectivity

This mouse works on practically any computer. It allows for Bluetooth 4.0, or a 2.4 GHz USB dongle usage. It is charged via MicroUSB, and a single 2 hour charge can last the mouse over a month. I've tested this for about two weeks, and only had to charge it once (when I first got it)

Design

The mouse is made out of a metal/plastic build, which feels extremely sturdy and cool to the touch. The mouse is curved perfectly to fit one's hands, and allows for a solid grip when using the mouse in the standard mouse mode. It comes in different colors, designed to match the color scheme of Lenovo's Yoga laptop line of products.

It excels as a standard mouse, with 1600dpi; which is very accurate laser tracking, a smooth scroll bar which also acts as a button to switch modes (more on that later), and also includes a Windows button on the bottom of the scroll bar. I've used this mouse for the past week with the Yoga 900 laptop, and it feels fantastic. The edges are a bit rough though, so resting your thumb on a table feels much better than resting it on the side of the mouse as I typically do.

Modes

What makes this mouse shine, and what makes it stand out from the crowd is the "cool factor" it has. You're able to flip the mouse to a flat position, which not only allows for a compact size to throw in your bag when traveling, but also packs some intelligent features. And plus, who wouldn't want a mouse that does yoga?

When the mouse is in this flat mode, you're able to control volume up, volume down; pausing or playing a video; and going forward or backwards in a video. Then, press the scroll bar once and you're presented with more options designed for a presentation. This includes next, previous, play, exit presentation, and turn the screen black.

These extra features are perfect for those who presents things often, such as a teacher or professor. You don't need to carry around a mouse and a presenter stick, you just need to carry one that does both! On top of that, options to adjust video playback is convenient when you are far away from your computer, or don't want to scramble to find the volume settings on your computer.

Watch the two videos I made below to see some of these features in action!

As you can see, pressing on the mouse to trigger these actions are extremely quick, and seamless to use.

Conclusion

The Lenovo Yoga Mouse is perfect for those who are on the go; travelers. You're able to flip this mouse flat so that you have something very thin and light in your laptop bag. The mouse tracks extremely well, and feels great during use. On top of that, the mouse has some features no other mouse has, allowing you to have a portable presenter which also doubles as a great mouse. Lenovo made mice interesting again. The Lenovo Yoga Mouse will be available for $69.99.
